Sermon Before the Graduating Class of
st. GATHERINGS.

st. GATHERINGS.
Rev. DR.. Richey of the General Seminary,
New York City, delivered an able sermon
before the graduating class of St. Gather.
ines at st. Marks church last evening.
Taking for his text Matt. VI; 26, 27, 2S,
Behold the fowls of the air." ETC., the
speaker considered faith in three aspects : as
natural faith, evangelical faith, and the faith
of the christian church.
From birth every one has a vocation, a
work every soul gift and all different.
The work of education is to find out what is
the gift peculiar to each one, which our faith
tells us comes from God who rules every
thing, and then we are to apply ourselves 10
the cultivation of that gift We cannot wrap
our talent in napkin. We have no right to
dsparage our own powers in comparison with
others. | do not know about your lives, said
the doctor, but in so far as YOU have taken
everything As coming from God, and tried to
increase in good, so far you have certainly
been growing as the lily of the text-deep
rooted.
Believing that you are a child of God, it
belongs to you to live a. one, to walk worthy
of your vocation as a christian, which is not
some high thing but the simple doing day by
day of ones duty, following our Pettern.
Don't be christian on Sunday and woman
of the world all other days.
And then we have the faith-the faith of
christianity, which has stood the test of time
and warfare. Hold on to that which you
have received. Remember that faith goes
before mere intellectual apprehension. Faith
feeds on faith. Be faithful and be patient,
in trial, sorrow, afflction, still be faithful,
believing that all comes from God, who has
control of both good and evil, and uses all as
a school to train US for himself and heaven.
number of the clergy were present, and
the service, which was largely choral, was
rendered very heartily, the music being OF a
high order.

Womon's hats at the theatre may look like
these that the artist has caricatured, but II
they were ten times worse they would still not
bc m Offset to the men who squeeze past
ladies and rush out in procession every time
the curtain rolls down.
At least that is what the women say. They
declare that the mon rub their dusty trousers
shins past the bright silks and velvets, taking
the luster Off the ono and the pile off the
other. Ladies must rise for them, catching
their skirts against the chairs and tearing out
the drnpery and tie strings of their gowns.
They must stand there, a spectacle to gods
and men till the oily. black boots have rubbed
t.long by them, and the knees nave torn out
and carried away the loops in their dresses.
Then the hoofs clatter up the steps like "A cav
airy company, and the ladies sit down, only
to he routed up again by the tramping cav
airy. The troop come in smelling-heavensl
how they do smell, and sit down all about,
clearing their throats, expectorating, and fill
ing the air with their tobacco and whisky
breaths. The getting up and sitting down
must be como through altogether some twelve
times whenever a woman goes to n five act
play. The women's dresses are spoiled, their
stomachs sickencd and their patience is worn
TO the bone. Now, say the ladies, have we
not just cause for complaint Are the griev-
nnces all on tho masculine side of the house
They pause for an answer.
In times past and in all times it is true
there have been intervals of monstrous femi-
nine head covering. Women, being shut out
from the large interests of humanity, are apt
to oyerdo the small interests in which they
live and move. Women's headgear has been
sometimes four feet high.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off OF revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the as well as reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green
August Fiower and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one-ffth more medi-
cine in the 10 cent size. The Augusf
F7ooer for Dyspepsi. and Liver Com
plant, and tksGerman Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps the
largest sale Of any medicines in the world.
The advantage OF increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated blythe
sick and afflicted in every town and village
in Civilized countries. Sample bottles for
~ cents remain the same size.

Henry Grady has never held nor desired
public Office. He has again and again re-
fused a proffered candidacy, and has found
his chief pleasure in pushing others to the
fore. Not II spark Of jealousy or envy finds a
place in his broad md noble nature. Ills
friends and contemporaries, brilliant young
fellows. with intellects ~rivaling his own, have
never found in him an obstacle, but rather a
great and helpful lever to success, and he has
directed their campaigns, planned and porsos-
fully aided their successes, and rejoiccd in
their regulations with supreme self nbncga
ton and p~rincely generosity. Some two
years ago a petition signed by 1000 nam-s.
amply assuring his nomination and election,
besought Grady to run for congressmni.-at-
large under the new congressional apportion-
mcnt of Georgia l think that was the one
tempting moment Of Grady's life. The offer
was No tempting, success so certain and the
manner of the presentation so peculiarly fiat
tering that the journalist hesitated-but only
for n moment. He declined the office with
thanks, and has been greater ever since. 1t
is the impcrsonality OF his work and the un-
selhshness of his lahors that have made him
to-day stronger and more potent in Georgia
politics than Brown, Colquitt or Gordon.

height Of the tower will be 420 feet above the
pavement. 1t will be circular in form, con-
structed oil red and white brick and stone.
The outer wall will be seven feet thick at the
bottom and two feet thick at the top. The
diameter of the tower will be sixty feet ut

top There will be elevators to raise pas
sengers to the summit, and for those who will
no. trust these mechanical contrivances therc
will be two sets of stone steps provided be

possess n drawback to the use of such a tower,
and that is fog. Unless they can abolish Lon

A story told about Capt. Paul Boyton is in
teresting. He was on his way down the Rhone.
in France, near Syssel, when he noticed the
people along the bank making unusual noises
and gesticulations. Thinking they were
caused by their admiration for him Boyton
didn't mind them, but when he got nearer
the people he saw it was fear that caused
their notions, and that they Were entreating
him TO stop; but he couldn't do this on ac-
count Of the rapidity OF the current. Then
he saw several soldiers run out on the bridge
and hurriedly grind away at some cranks,
and in a few moments, n little before his
eyes, rose II network Of chains and hooks,
which was stretched across the river to catch
'ontraband goods that might be floated
down, and that would ave made minco-
meat out Of the voynger il the guards hadn't
cen him. Is II wa, when he iloated under,
the lowest raw OF hooks was only a few
inches from lis face. Chicago News.
